I used to be quite shy and introverted. I don't feel shy anymore, I don't feel introverted anymore. Extroversion, I've learned, is definitely the way to go.  I used to consider myself quite the anarchist, now I'm no anarchist, not at all, I have no interest in politics, my only interest in politics could be an intellectual interest and I rather have an interest in other things. I used to smoke a lot of marijuana, now I hardly smoke it.  I used to dislike living in Pittsburgh, now I embrace it.  Next Summer I'm going back to Prague and it is going to be fine as hell there.  I used to really want a girlfriend, thought I could not be happy unless I had a girlfriend, now to be honest I really don't want a girlfriend, unless she was quite the substantial person I would, I'm confident, end up hurting her feelings pursuing what I want.  I used to be rather unhappy a large portion of the time, now I almost always feel happy, these changes are for the better I think?
